nut tarts

Situated around the corner from my accommodations in Boston, this enchanting bakery is enough to sway one to move into the neighbourhood. To launch each morning with their coffee is enough right there, but to stand in their shop amidst such deliberate art is the pull that keeps one a regular. Nut tarts, classic Brioche, gorgeous pear pies, crumbly-topped cheesecakes, XXL fig biscotti, and sandwiches which beg to be taken for a walk along the Seine (or Charles River) are all successful temptresses. Personally, I can not pass up their infamous "chocolate rose", a "flower shaped yeast dough brimming with chocolate filling". Could you?
